The German strategy of using heavy warships to disrup sea born supplies was a miserable failure. If the resources were put into more U-Boats the Battle of the Atlantic would have been very different.

I seem to remember pistols, .45acp & 38 super, touted as being made from steel from the Graf Spee coming from Argentina back in the 60's-70's. Supposedly better quality beacause they were made from fine German steel.
Any comments on this?

Bump.
BTW Exeter was a heavy, not light, cruiser sporting 6x 8" guns.
